A glimpse of China’s fishing militia invading the Philippines’ EEZ. Tens of thousands of such vessels, subsidized by China, operate as proxy enforcers for the Coast Guard and PLANavy. They go around wreaking havoc on sovereignty of other states & marine life alike.

China has 11 megadams on the Mekong. They are destroying Vietnam, Laos, Thailand & Cambodia. They control the river and refuse to inform us downstream countries about water flow. Victor Gao called this a Crime Against Humanity. He’s right. So demolish those dams now!

South Korean coast guards water-cannoned Chinese fishing militia vessels that illegally entered their EEZ. This is exactly what the Chinese goons were doing to us in our own waters. Serves them right.

I’m tired of the claims that China is being “restrained” against Filipino fishermen (after entering PH waters) Remember: Chinese maritime militia once STABBED & KILLED a South Korean Coast Guard inside South Korea’s EEZ Is this your idea of restraint?

New Chinese structures spotted at Scarborough Shoal, though China said it will remain a nature reserve. Mischief Reef was supposed to be a fishermen's shelter. Look at it now. The first stage of a Chinese military outpost in SCS is usually a promise that it won't become one

All that light is from Chinese industrial trawlers operating in Argentina’s waters. Argentine Navy monitors them, but cannot eliminate them completely. These fleets stretch for kilometers, overwhelm patrol capacity & keep fishing anyway.

According to China, two coast guard ships water-cannoning a small Filipino fishing boat inside Philippine waters is not just “justified,” but “lawful.” So why expect this insecure little “4000-year-old civilization” to stop ramming its warships into its neighbours’ ships?
